Paterson’s Funeral Services

Paterson’s Funeral Services has been locally owned for over 35 years by Roger and Pauline Paterson. Now in association with Lamb & Hayward, the funeral home remains Canterbury owned, and continues to be locally operated with those same familiar faces that have been caring for our local community over many years.

The Chapel and premises are conveniently situated on the main street of Ashburton, corner of Cox and East Streets which makes this a very central location for the Ashburton community.

Paterson’s Funeral Services Chapel accommodates 130 people, with an adjoining area providing audio visual facilities that seats a further 100. We have experienced staff and equipment to support families that choose to use an alternative venue such as a local Church, Sports Club, or even a private residence.

The funeral home provides an attractive air conditioned Reception Lounge that opens to an outside garden area. Our friendly catering staff will ensure all your needs are met as you gather with family and friends, either in our premises or off site.

Our Services

Where the funeral service is held is an important aspect of funeral planning. You may choose to use our chapel, or if the person who has died was a member of a religious denomination, often the service is held in their local church.

Arranging a Funeral

The funeral is a final opportunity for family and friends to express their love and respect for the person who has died. If it is arranged carefully and sensitively, it can be enormously beneficial in helping people come to terms with their loss.
